ATL: The Black Soccer Culture No One Knew Existed

[Malta]

avg player isn't 6'1 in soccer though. Why take one segment of Soccer to compare to an Avg across all football teams? thats not how stats work

I gave you an example though, you said soccer wasn't for tall people and yet the last world cup winner was tall by your own baseline for height. Unless you were talking about NBA type of height your point doesn't really hold water because the average height of the most popular sport in the US isn't much taller than the average height in the premier league which is 5'11" - No correlation between a team's height and results, says study

Remove the QBs & Linemen from the equation and the height of NFL players is probably in lock step with Liga, Premier etc heights.

why can't American soccer players play overseas? many of them do, at good clubs, especially at the youth level. there are Americans playing throughout Europe and Mexico in leagues of higher quality than MLS. American basektball players can't go overseas and play in a level higher than the NBA. and there are way less professional basketball leagues than there are soccer leagues worldwide

1. The NCAA
2. Lack of academies
3. More MLS teams are starting academies...but they're starting from way behind

yeah but I don't see the average American parent letting their child go overseas by themselves. Pulisic is a outlier bruh.

Right.

And thats ONLY because his dad was pro

Kids already have gone to soccer. Its by far the most popular sport among youth.

... in the next 15-20 years I can see soccer eclipsing one of the top 3 sports in the US ...it aleady had a higher average attendance than the NBA last season.


Soccer is the future.

Soccer is the future.

the growing population of Africans, Caribbeans, and Hispanics combined with hipsters is to blame for that.

They have too much native talent and not enough competing sports to draw internationally

America has 4-5 major sports

what does American having 4-5 major sports have to do with Americans playing overseas? there's many Americans playing overseas

That's so weird, because worldwide it's the sport of the underpriviledged. 'Cause all you really need is a ball and people can play in any type of terrain (sand, concrete, beach, patio's, etc...).

yeah I don't know why they're saying it's a privileged sport when worldwide it's mainly ghetto youths that play it.. you don't even need a goal to play, two stones would work but you know Americans just try to justify everything

 

[TRFG]

outside of the USA kids are signing contracts with professional clubs at 9 years old .....

If any American player wants to be world class he will have to leave in his pre teens to play abroad .....

the college system is stupid and shows a complete lack of understanding of the game...

how the fukk are you playing football in college in what are your peak years ..... very stupid

soccer players always have the option of Europe, Mexico, and South America tho. basketball players don't have all the options.

don't forget south east asia

 

[Wildin]

They have to be Africans...

Footbol is a European thing... Americans especially us so-called blacks don’t really fukk with it...

Most nikkas that I’ve know that played soccer were

In America soccer is a privileged whiteboy game

Nah nikka. A black man can pick up any sport and go. I did ice hockey, roller hockey, lacrosse, soccer and was good at it.

Only reason nikkas don't play high school soccer is because it's during track season. Which is after basketball season. And if they're lazy or slow they'll play baseball. Or camp up somewhere and play basketball through spring and summer.

Depends on if they're a 12 sport athlete or not.
